How Friday's college football results affect the playoff

For teams that aren't playing in their conference championship games, this is it -- the final chance to make a lasting impression on the College Football Playoff selection committee.

For some contenders, like Ole Miss, their regular-season résumé is now complete, and what happens in the fifth ranking on Tuesday night should be a strong indicator of their final placement on Selection Day. Others, like Miami, are banking on hope and help -- and most importantly, one more win. It all began with the Egg Bowl on Friday -- a game that not only kept Ole Miss in the playoff, but also technically in the SEC race.
